So what is up with this car?Did you sell the visor?the car?


The visor went to California. I also sold the one very bad cond. semaphore and also sold the top latches and catches.
and well Sam could not get the car at this time......
I have not tried to sell the car yet because I've been busy doing other things. Like buying other bugs. Just bought a 1960 sunroof that had been in a 30 year storage in a barn, but that is for another forum...
I will be listing the 54 bug on Samba in a few days for $500. cash. Laughing

Apples and oranges.

You put $100k into a Heb, you have a Heb worth $100k.

You put $100k into a 54 Beetle, you have a beetle worth $25-50k....

I have to agree with Wiggy, that car is beyond ROUGH...

too late. see ocelot's gallery ... he has some pics of the hacked parts Sad


i live so far from US and it pisses me off seeing cars get crushed. no pre 67 vert should be left to rot or hacked when it can be repaired..

so did this vert get hacked? or sold? or is it being fixed up? whats the deal? im interested! ill drive my new beetle vert all the fuckin way cross the g'damn country, rent a uhaul trailer and tow it out to so cal so it can be built into a respectable concourse 54 vert even if i have to use a 53,54 or 55 oval sedan body and graft on all the vert panels.
